At 7:45 p.m. on the 14th, when Manchester United's starting 11 appeared at Old Trafford with Glasgow Rovers, all the old Manchester United fans were stunned.

Goalkeeper: No. 29 Kuzzak

Defenders: No. 6 Brown, No. 5 Vidic, No. 12 Smalling, No. 20 Fabio

Avant-garde: No. 10 Gao Xiaodong, No. 24 Fletcher, No. 12 Park Ji-sung, No. 25 Valencia

Forwards: No. 14 Hernandez, No. 10 Rooney,

Compared with last weekend's league game, Ferguson's starting line-up for Manchester United was unexpectedly adjusted in nine positions. Prepare for the first game of the Champions League this season with a squad that is almost a substitute.

Listening to the exclamations at the scene, the commentator Martin joked: "Is this the effect that the Lord wants? Before I got this starting lineup, I thought it was to turn the Glasgow Rangers and League Cup opponents upside down, but now it seems that the Lord really played the Rangers as a League Cup." The future of Manchester United should be in the hands of young people, and always relying on veterans is not good for future development, but the succession can't be taken over like this, so you have to overdo it. ”

CCTV's commentator He Hui smiled bitterly: "Is this Gao Xiaodong and Rooney leading the team to play the Champions League, or is it the engineer Fletcher leading the team, this is really not treating the village chief as a cadre, and the homeless people are also Su Chao's giants." ”

In fact, not only the fans and commentators were shocked, even Gao Xiaodong secretly scolded the old man in his heart for being too cheating on him, Nani is just not on it, what do you mean by Park Ji-sung, what help can he provide offensively, but Park Ji-sung can still defend, especially the right-back turned out to be Fabio, and the center-back is a new recruit Smalling who hasn't played a league game, do you still want me to play in the front half happily?

If Gao Xiaodong thinks that Ferguson is cheating, then Rooney's mood is a dog.

Recently, Rooney's state is very poor, in the league, it was easy to open Hu with the help of Gao Xiaodong, and then accidentally suspended with a red card, and was scolded by fans after the last round of the game, this Champions League battle, before the game, Scholes and other veterans took turns to rest, Rooney was in a good mood, and felt that his opportunity to show his leadership ability had come, but when he looked at this starter, he almost didn't collapse, what a bad old man, this is harming me, in case of losing, I am so determined to share a cauldron.

However, looking at Gao Xiaodong, Rooney was in a much better mood, because the 80 million estimated pot was bigger than himself.

Unlike Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, the two young big names, Fletcher, who is loyal to Ferguson, immediately felt that the leader was handing over the heavy responsibility to himself after seeing the starter, Gao Xiaodong was young, Rooney was frizzy, Vidic could only command the defense, and he had to pick up this burden, and even Fletcher fantasized that this was not the leader who wanted to test himself to see if he had the ability to lead the team to fight a tough battle, if he could win this game, he might have hope to compete with Vidic and Ferdinand for the captaincy, they are too old after all.

The 26-year-old Fletcher is entering the prime stage of his career, from the substitute of right-back David Beckham to the absolute mainstay of central midfield, Fletcher has completed a magnificent transformation, although Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are more prestigious than Fletcher, but the two are older, and Fletcher is hopeful to succeed Neville as Manchester United captain.

However, Fletcher has yet to win any honours since he grew up, and all he needs now is a trophy that he has led to win for the Reds.

As a defensive sapper, Fletcher has been steadily rising from two to five goals since the start of the 2007-08 season, and believes he will become even more important this season when his big brothers are no longer able to play the full game.

Rangers coach Walter standing on the sidelines. Smith shook hands with Ferguson and began to wonder what it meant for his old friend to have such a line-up? Although Smith had been an assistant to Ferguson when he was Scotland manager and Manchester United manager, Smith never believed that Ferguson did not want to win the game.

Smith quickly figured out that in addition to using this precious opportunity to train newcomers, Ferguson is not afraid of losing or drawing, because after Manchester United and Rangers draw, Rangers and Valencia will only fight to the death, and Manchester United is the beneficiary.

However, these are the things that the big boss considers, for Rangers who are victorious in the group, fighting for a draw with Manchester United is the biggest goal, as for the upset, no Scottish team has won at Old Trafford yet, and the draw was 25 years ago.

Rangers head coach Smith was pragmatic and lined up with a 451 formation, leaving only Kenny Miller alone to harass up front, while the remaining nine formed two lines of defence in an orderly manner and settled in his own half. In terms of player deployment, the famous former England international James Beatty and Slovakia's popular student Weiss were both put on the bench by Smith, and the 19-year-old talented young player Fleck did not even enter the squad.

Although most of Manchester United's starters are newcomers and substitutes, the players who can become the world's top giants Manchester United, whether they are top in strength or talent, are thigh-level players in other small clubs, facing Glasgow Rangers, after the opening, Manchester United's three lines quickly pressed forward, pressing the Rangers in their own half of the siege.

Gao Xiaodong, the front midfielder, thought that he would be distracted and think about defense, but he didn't expect to think too much, and the Soviet Super League champion lay down first at the beginning, putting on a posture of letting Manchester United ravage.

Although the defense does not have to worry about Gao Xiaodong, the offense has become more difficult, the Scottish players defend Gao Xiaodong extremely tightly, as long as Gao Xiaodong gets the ball, three people will immediately surround him, not let Gao Xiaodong break through, and do not let him pass sideways, so he is forced to pass back.

Martin, the on-site commentator, laughed: "Four league games and one Community Shield Gao Xiaodong has been so good that now he has been treated as a superstar. ”

It wasn't until the third minute of the game that Gao Xiaodong got a space to handle the ball easily.

Valencia took the ball on the side, Gao Xiaodong slyly accelerated and rushed to the penalty area, attracting the reckless men of the Rangers to rush with him, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stopped and turned around, raising his hand to ask Valencia for the ball.

As a South American player, Valencia is lonely in the Manchester United dressing room, and he will not have any status if he goes to the local gang and the mainland gang, so Gao Xiaodong, who is favored by the coach, is naturally the object of his huddle for warmth.

Valencia is the opposite of Nani, he has no desire to shoot, he thinks about passing the ball when he gets the ball, and before Gao Xiaodong can raise his hand, Valencia passes the ball over.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball sideways, but he had super glasses, his vision was very wide, and he had already seen Rooney's running, Gao Xiaodong pulled the ball with his left foot and turned around, nudged with his right foot, and gave Rooney a through ball in the ribs.

The ball was just right, Rooney received the ball and accelerated, shook off the Rangers midfielder Davies and cut straight into the box.

Rangers centre-back Algerian footballer Bogra rushed from the side, and when he couldn't touch the ball, he made the illusion of breaking the ball with his outstretched foot, knocking Rooney to the ground with his body.

Rooney lay on the ground and raised his hand to signal for a foul on Bogra, but referee Debrec ignored it and signaled for the game to continue.
